Southern Rocker Disgusted By the 'Devil'

While we doubt that anyone has ever confused Charlie Daniels with Mick Jagger, the barrel-chested southern rocker has decided to assure the world that he has absolutely no sympathy for the devil -- or, for that matter, his minions on earth. In Daniels' mind, the latter category is currently headed up by the folks responsible for 'Guitar Hero,' who've angered him by festooning the game's recently released third volume with a version of his 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' in which the Man Downstairs actually stands a chance of winning the protagonist's soul.

Daniels went onto his website to disassociate himself from the game, which he says "pervert(ed) his song" -- to which he does not own publishing rights -- and left him "disgusted with the result." Well, on the bright side, the 'Guitar Hero' folks didn't manage to sneak in a rendition of 'The South's Gonna Do It Again' in which Yankees manage to overrun Dixie and litter it with Starbucks outlets.
